- Thanks! I tried the "-noclock" setting, and sure enough, no crashes!
- Maybe as a temporary measure you might have Executor auto-detect the
- conflict and turn off the clock? It's better for a commercial program
- not to crash, and have slightly reduced performance, than to crash with
- better performance.

- Actually, far more troubling are my file system problems. I can't copy
- or write to Macintosh formatted disks or the DOS filesystem, although
- all i/o with the .hfv file systems seems to work fine. I thought perhaps
- the DOS file system might have been messed up because I installed
- executor on the d: drive (I thought maybe some of the disk i/o
- routines were hard-coded for c:, though not all, and that might
- explain why although I could see the files, I couldn't work with
- them) but that proved not to be the case, as I SUBSTed c: for d: and
- still had the problem. Any ideas on that front? Is this a known bug?
